Oh Little Town of Bethlehem ...

When I look at my girls, I can't help but think, "Christ was once this small when he walked this earth." Take time to ponder the beautiful mystery of our Savior's birth. He, the creator of this world, was born a tiny baby and was still, God. In obedience to His Father, he grew into a toddler, a child, a teenager, a man ...

"Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross. Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Philippians 2:5-11

Christmas dinner with some of my dear friends from college

On a carriage ride this past weekend ... it was very cold!

This is what happens when we ask Anna to "smile."
Payton is getting into the ribbon

We were making homemade cinnamon rolls ... Anna took a bite out of the raw dough and said, "this is yummy."

Have a Merry Christmas!
